On average, each of the Guanning Cavalry would cost at least two hundred taels of silver a year. Therefore, if the court did not have money, they would definitely not be able to afford such elite cavalry.
However, the most serious problem of the late Ming Dynasty had already been easily solved by Ye Xin!
No warhorses? Buy!
No soldiers? Spending a lot of money to recruit soldiers!
Compared to the rest of the soldiers, Ye Xin's Brave Guards Battalion had a huge advantage, and that was that the basic qualities of the soldiers were better.
The soldiers of Ye Xin's Brave Guards Battalion were all martial arts experts. Their physical fitness and combat ability were all stronger than the previous one. Thus, in this aspect, they were already able to completely crush the other armies.
At this moment, whether it was the Manchu Eight Banners Army or the rebel peasant army outside, their individual combat ability was definitely not comparable to Ye Xin's Brave Guards Battalion.
With these soldiers, Ye Xin's Valiant Guard Battalion was completely invincible.
In a dynasty where firearms were not widely used, cavalry was always the most powerful army in that era.
The infantrymen of that era were no match for the cavalry. In history, there were only two examples of infantry defeating cavalry. One was Yue Fei's Yue Family Army, and the other was Qi Jiguang's Qi Family Army.
The Yue Family Army and the Qi Family Army were very difficult to build and would take a long time. Ye Xin did not have that much time to spend, so he decided to build the Cavalry of the Brave Guards Camp.
As for the equipment of the cavalry, Ye Xin chose the heavy scimitar as his main weapon. In this era, only the Guanning Cavalry and the Manchu Eight Banners could compare to the Brave Guards Battalion.
The Guanning Cavalry was Ye Xin's own army. As long as Yuan Chonghuan did not rebel, then Ye Xin would not have to start a war with the Guanning Cavalry. Therefore, if it was a cavalry battle, the main force that the Brave Guards Battalion would deal with would be the Manchurian Eight Banners.
Although the Manchurian Eight Banners were strong in battle, their equipment wasn't very good. They were basically equipped with machetes, armor, and guns. Moreover, their armor was not heavy, so it was not difficult to break through.
Especially since his brave guard unit was made up of martial arts experts, and with the heavy machete, it would not be difficult for him to break through the Manchurian Eight Banners Armor.
He believed that as long as his Brave Guards Battalion mastered the machete and used it to fight against the Manchu Eight Banners, they would definitely be able to defeat the Manchu Eight Banners. After all, when it came to knife skills, Great Ming was thousands of years ahead of them.
Of course, the scimitar was the main offensive weapon, and the other weapons could not be put down.
The scythe spear that was specially used to hook the horse's legs, the spiked club that was specially used to break armor and defense, and the three-eyed fire system that was specially used by cavalry were all equipped.
In addition, Ye Xin also found the manufacturing technique of bulletproof vests from the system and asked the craftsmen to imitate the principle of bulletproof vests and create a batch of light armor. This way, it could ensure the defense of the armor and the mobility of the Brave Guard Battalion.
After finishing all of this, Ye Xin pondered for a while and was almost done packing.
Now that he had finished preparing the equipment for the Brave Guard Camp, the next step was to train the martial arts experts of the Brave Guard Camp in their ability to fight as a group.
This aspect of the battle was not difficult, because although the Ming Dynasty's famous generals were wrong, there was no lack of people who understood military affairs. Even though he could not lead troops in battle, he was still familiar with the way cavalry fought in groups.
As long as he had his teacher's guidance, in addition to the comprehension of the martial arts experts in the Brave Guard Camp, it wouldn't be difficult for him to create the number one elite cavalry in Great Ming.
"System, now is the time to use you. I want to become a first-class battle general in the shortest time possible.”
The first step to becoming a first-rate battle general was to build one's body well. For example, if one's body was not in good condition, they might not even be able to withstand a few dozen kilograms of armor, let alone fight on the battlefield.
Ye Xin held the scimitar in his hand that weighed more than 20 jin and danced for a while. He felt that it was very tiring. He thought to himself that if he didn't eat the Body Strengthening Pill, he really wouldn't be able to mount his horse and kill his enemies.
On the battlefield, the weight of a weapon was its power. The heavier the weapon, the greater the inertia. For example, if a cavalryman rushed over with a huge saber weighing a few hundred pounds, he would not need to use any strength to chop down. He would be able to chop anything in half just by relying on the powerful inertia impact.
