Valley Emperor

Although the weather was very bad, and some soldiers fell ill due to sudden changes in the weather or fatigue, there was no large-scale disease outbreak, which made Ding Chen really relieved!

On the seventh day of the landing, although it was rainy and sunny for half a day, there was another moderate rain in the afternoon. It was not until the eighth day of landing that the sky cleared up again.

The Seventh Army has just started to march again!

Only at this time, after two days of heavy rain, the earth has become muddy, making the task of artillery and material transportation more difficult!

From the landing site to the city of Malacca, the short straight-line distance of more than four kilometers is full of muddy and dirty Tang soldiers. Push the heavy artillery towards Malacca!

On the muddy dirt road leading from Landing City to Malacca City, Ding Chenzhen rode on a horse and led the officers and guards of the headquarters behind him. Ding Chenzhen had already transferred the army headquarters from the beach of the landing site to the On a hill outside the city of Malacca, it is about 800 meters away from the city of Malacca.

Walking on the road, all Ding Chenzhen saw all the way were officers and soldiers who were struggling to carry artillery and supplies!

Looking at the elite soldiers under his command, all of them were covered in mud at this time, shouting and pushing the artillery forward like a coolie, and he all had an indescribable feeling.

So **** hard!

This is the dignified Seventh Army, and the 19th Infantry Division inside is the first-class elite troops in the country. These elite troops are placed on the battlefield, but they are powerful enough to make any enemy daunted.

But now in Malacca, he is just like a coolie, doing things like building roads and transporting supplies.

Eight days since the landing, not to mention major battles and minor battles, not a single battle has been fought yet!

The Portuguese were determined to defend themselves. They hid outside the city of Malacca all day long. Even the reconnaissance troops and spies were too lazy to send out. It seemed that they wanted to rely on the strong city defense of Malacca to defend.

This also led to the fact that after the troops landed, up to now, there has been no shot or shot!

Not to mention the Portuguese, even the local natives didn’t know where they were going, and they couldn’t even see a person. This made the Seventh Army’s attempt to recruit the local natives to build roads and run them all in vain.

With a sigh, Ding Chenzhen continued to move forward, and after passing through the muddy road, he arrived at the new army headquarters.

The conditions of this new army headquarters are much better than the tents on the beach. It is a simple wooden house that the troops have cut down the surrounding trees in advance.

Although it is said that the wooden house is very simple, it is still a house, much better than a tent or something.

After entering the house, Ding Chenzhen once again called the officers to hold a small meeting. The main issues discussed at the meeting were artillery and material transportation.

As for combat, who still has the spare time to make a combat plan, even the artillery can't be transported, what a shit!

In order to speed up the transportation of materials such as artillery and artillery shells in the rear, Ding Chenzhen ordered the 59th Infantry Regiment to also free up its hands to help the artillery and baggage units to transport artillery and materials.

And the defense of the regiment is in charge of the second temporary regiment of the Guards!

Ding Chen is really relieved that the second temporary formation of the Guards is in charge of the defense line of the 59th Infantry Regiment!

Although these Guards, in the eyes of the army generals, are a group of uncles, although they are uncles, their strength is not bad.

Now the second temporary formation of the Guards has also landed, and it has also come to the front line. Of course, like other troops, they are advancing lightly. The artillery battalion of this temporary formation is also a baggage battalion, and it is still on the muddy road behind. struggling.

It is worth noting that the provisional regiment of the Guards participating in the war was never a regiment, but was actually a mixed regiment. The provisional regiment also had an artillery battalion and auxiliary units such as a baggage battalion. The artillery battalion was organized. Also bigger.

This is not because the regular artillery battalion of the Guards is larger than the army artillery battalion. In fact, after so many years of mutual imitation, the basic organization of the army and the guards is basically the same. , are a battalion of eighteen artillery pieces.

However, there are differences. For example, the artillery regiment of the Army has only three battalions, but the artillery regiment of the Guards has four battalions, and the extra battalion is still a heavy artillery battalion.

Therefore, the division of the Army is an artillery regiment, and there are only fifty-four field guns of five jin and nine jin, but an artillery regiment of the Guards has a total of seventy-two artillery pieces, and there are 18 extra artillery pieces. Four pounds of artillery!

The artillery battalion under the second temporary formation of the Guards is not an ordinary artillery battalion, but a temporary formation. The artillery teams are drawn from other artillery units of the Guards. Here is one team. A team is drawn there, and a temporary organization is finally formed.

The battalion has a total of four teams, each with six artillery pieces, two five-jin field artillery battalions and two nine-jin field artillery battalions, with a total of twenty-four artillery pieces.

Even the infantry unit, their guards infantry battalion has a heavy musket team in addition to the six ordinary infantry teams.

This heavy musket team not only means that their muskets are 18mm heavy muskets, but they also wear thicker half-body armor to enhance their protection.

In fact, 18mm heavy muskets have been widely equipped in various army departments. Basically, in every infantry battalion, there will be an infantry team equipped with 18mm flintlock guns.

However, this infantry team equipped with 18mm muskets still only wears light breastplates specially designed for musketeers!

An Army infantry battalion has six infantry battalions in its standard organization. Among the six infantry battalions, four are ordinary musket teams, equipped with 14mm muskets and light cuirass.

Then there was a musket team equipped with 18mm muskets. They were the same except for the muskets that were different from the previous four musket teams. The main target of the battle was the enemy's heavily armored units. Below, wearing any armor won't work.

Then there is a grenadier team. Needless to say, this grenadier is the most elite infantry in the Datang Army. There is no one!

The soldiers who can be selected as the Grenadiers are the most elite soldiers in this infantry battalion. They are not only veterans with rich combat experience, but also strong and strong, with an average height and weight that exceeds that of ordinary soldiers. A big chunk.

Today, the average height of ordinary soldiers in the Datang Army is about 1.63 meters, but the minimum selection standard for grenadiers is 1.7 meters. In fact, the average height of Datang grenadiers is 1.75 meters. , Many grenadiers are even taller than 1.8 meters!

What's interesting is that even the average height of ordinary soldiers in Datang is 1.63 meters, which is far higher than the average height of soldiers in other countries. Europeans these days don't care whether they are Portuguese or Spanish or whatever. In the eyes of the Tang soldiers, the Fusang people, the Annan people and the like, are a group of dwarfs.

After more than ten years of people's livelihood recovery, the Datang Empire dare not say that everyone will be full, but the strategic goal of making most people full is still barely achieved. It will also get taller. Although it is said that in a short period of time, the average height of the people may increase too much, but there is still a small increase. At least when they can eat enough, many people who can grow taller. It will not grow taller due to lack of nutrition.

At the same time, the selection of soldiers by the Datang Army is not required by everyone. There are many farmers who are quite soldiers in these years. The military recruits are all selected from the best. Physical condition is naturally a very important reference target. To join the army, the minimum is 1.58 meters.

In fact, more soldiers are generally recruited more than 1.6 meters or even about 1.7 meters. In addition, there is another key point!

The soldiers who join the army are generally under the age of 18, and even many are actually only 16 or 17 years old. Datang recruits soldiers when they are 16 years old. In principle, no soldiers over 20 years old are recruited, and basically only 16 Young people between the ages of eighteen and eighteen.

After joining the army, many soldiers of this age can continue to grow taller after receiving sufficient nutritional supplements and physical training. Over time, the average height of the soldiers is getting higher and higher.

Therefore, over the years, the average height of the soldiers of the Datang military has increased year by year. In the past, it was less than 1.6 meters, but now it has reached 1.63 meters.

Of course, it is inappropriate to use the average height of soldiers as the average height of ordinary people, because the treatment of soldiers in Datang is notoriously good, and the standard of diet of ordinary people cannot be compared with that of soldiers in Datang.

The Spanish and Portuguese are typical southern Europeans, and they are relatively short. In addition to the poor living standards of ordinary people or serfs in Europe in the Middle Ages, especially in southern and eastern Europe, the average height is actually not as good as that of the Tang Empire. Woolen cloth.

As for the natives of Fusang, Annam, Burma, and India, not to mention, they are all short, with an average height of 1.5 meters to burn high incense.

This has nothing to do with race, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is the problem of insufficient nutrition and healthy diet!

After the industrial revolution in later generations, the living standards of Europeans have been improved, especially after entering the twentieth century, their average height has risen sharply, which is the height of later generations.

How long has it been with the Fusang people? After World War II, they were determined to increase the average height of the nation and provide milk and other nutritious food for their children. In later generations, this average height will also go up.

Huaxia is also in later generations because of better economic conditions and better food, and this average height is also slowly rising.

So the thing about height really has nothing to do with race, geographical environment, or crap, it's just a matter of nutrition!

If you eat well, you will grow taller, if you eat badly, you will grow short. This is a general rule. If you drink the northwest wind every day and you can grow into a big man of two meters, God has to shout: You are awesome!
